So my wife wants to know what model kit I want for Christmas. With so many models to choose from my long list, I narrowed it down to three for her to choose from. They are:
No wife, only a cat and she don’t give a rip what I do. The only thing that complains is my wallet. On Birthdays and Christmas I make the list, give it to myself and buy the kits I want.
It’s funny, my wife just asked me what I wanted for Xmas about 1/2 hour ago. I usually give her a list of about 5 or 6 things that I would like to have and tell her to pick one or two. But, she usually either gets all of them, picks something out of all the catalogs I have that she caught me looking intently at. About 5 years ago, she got me a small lathe that I kept looking at in the Micro Mark catalog. Was not expecting that.
My other half had never bought me a kit for a present, then last year she got me 3 for my birthday and she got me another this year. She had hoped to get me a ticket to see Monty Python for my Christmas present, but no chance there, so hopefully some more plastic will be heading my way.
She did see the ZM He 219 in the Jan issue of the mag when it came the other day and said she really like the look of the scheme, so I dropped a not so subtle hint about the Revell kit.
Placed the order for the kits this afternoon. The owner, whom I knew from back in high school, told me he’ll throwin a discount when they come in. He won’t place the order until next week so that’s fine by me. LOL!
my wife is VERY understanding and tries to allow me to purchase what i want, the Meng D9R bulldozer is keeping me awake at night, wife says maybe next year, good thing 2014 is only a month away. with a substantial stash there really isn’t much(D9R bulldozer) i want or need however she has never come right out and said NO. think i found a keeper too.
I’m lucky. She just asks me which model I want and where to find it. I usually get a few more with gift cards. Me and my girlfriend have an understanding. She doesn’t complain about my modeling and I don’t complain about those cheesy Lifetime and Hallmark Channel movies where it’s always the guys fault. :0)
What I really want for Christmas the manufacturer’s don’t make yet. But I keep asking Santa to put a good word in to the manufacturer’s. Maybe next year some 1/24 scale soft skin vehicles.
What I’m asking for is some after market set’s , PE and resin set’s
